OK, I am going to have to hand this on a plate. It is an airport hotel/lodge with ostrich and impala in the grounds.

Move location folks. Duff address listed. Just been onto their web site Kempton Park. That should do it.

It might be Kopanong, but I think it's the Airport Game Lodge.

Well done Cape. Sorry about the initial duff location. I should have gone onto their web site earlier: https://www.airport-game-lodge.co.za/

Stayed there a few times. Not bad but no bar or restaurant. They take you to a nearby conference centre hotel which is very nice but then you have to wait for transport to get back which is all a bit of a pain.

All your Sir.

Time for a clue perhaps.

It's a hotel.

I've looked at loads of hotels in UK with round entrance. No luck.

I'm dumped in the Fuctifino bin. Any chance of some clue?

At a certain time in its history the hotel achieved a certain notoriety.

Does the notoriety involve a former CDS and the wife of a government minister?

No, it's to do with a conflict, but not a personal one.

Actually Cape when you said,
certain notoriety
I was thinking 'scandal'. I now know every hotel in the UK associated with scandal. Cliveden kept coming up of course. Amazing what you learn researching for this thread.

OK, back to little pads in the country.
